Nice and clean playground. Good for all ages. There are swings, slides, trampolines, and climbing ropes. Big space to play and relax. The lake walk is beautiful and good for a family walk or picnic. Toilets and parking close by. Great place to enjoy time outside....
Lake Te Koo Utu playground
Thornton Road, Cambridge 3434
Access notes
Two independent reviews describe a steep flight of stairs leading up to the playground from the lake walk, a hard barrier for wheelchair users. One review mentions an easier access route exists but does not give enough detail to confirm it.
What's here
Lake Te Koo Utu playground sits beside the lake in Cambridge, with a multi-play playhouse and slide, a climbing mound and balancing equipment giving families a varied stop on a loop around the water.
